The emperor was very pleased to learn what they said.

"Well done, you two are both my good sons, I will reward you handsomely!"

Then he turned his gaze to the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch immediately understood, and after a moment he came back with two pieces of fine jade.

"This jade pendant was given to father by the late emperor. Now you two each have one. In the future, you must live in harmony and support the country together."

Seeing that both of them received rewards, Chu Weiyue grumbled a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, I did contribute this time, why didn't I get any reward?"

After a moment's pause, the emperor burst into laughter.

"As the daughter of a marquis, you already have no worries about food and clothing. Rewarding you with material things is not important. Besides, I am afraid I am powerless to give you the reward you really want..."

Then he set his gaze on Wen Jingchi standing beside him, and the implication could not be more obvious.

Chu Weiyue was not embarrassed at all when he directly exposed her, but instead snorted with pride.

Standing beside Wen Jingchi, deliberately getting very close to him.

Wen Jingchi understood his father's hint and kept a certain distance from Chu Weiyue.

Chu Weiyue suddenly thought of what the steward said. She didn't know why Wen Jingchi and Wen Chenxuan didn't report it, and she couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Your Majesty, the arrested steward said that he has a bigger backer behind him. If he didn't have anyone to support him, how could he have the ability to stir up such trouble?"

"Is this true? These people are so bold. If I find out, I will kill all nine generations of his clan." The emperor slammed the table in anger.

Seeing this, Wen Chenxuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, why don't you leave this matter to me? I will definitely catch them."

Chu Weiyue sneered contemptuously. He shrank back when it was time to do the hard labor, but rushed to the front when it was time to ask for credit.

After leaving the palace, the two went to the house where the child was temporarily housed.

The child named Xiaobao was sitting in the corner, looking very pitiful, which made Chu Weiyue feel sad.

"Don't worry, I have found him a kind family, and he will have a comfortable life in the future."

Wen Jingchi's voice was soft, as if he was comforting her.

A middle-aged couple came in from outside and greeted Wen Jingchi. They looked like a wealthy business couple.

After giving them a few instructions, he asked them to take the child away.

Chu Weiyue sent him to the door before she reluctantly sighed, "I hope this child will have a bright future."

Wen Jingchi's eyes fell on Chu Weiyue and his brows slightly frowned.

"Why didn't I realize in the past that you have such a kind heart?"

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes at him immediately: "It's not too late for you to find out now!"

"Let's go, we have more important things to do now."

A rather sinister smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she strode forward.

Wen Jingchi didn't know what she was going to do, but he had a feeling that someone was going to be in trouble.

The direction they were heading was the home of the gambler couple. As soon as Wen Jingchi arrived at the door, he heard a scream.

The couple were hung upside down on the tree, groaning and crying.

Chu Weiyue held a whip in his hand and beat them fiercely to vent his anger. He beat the two men until their skin was torn and flesh was exposed, then he angrily threw the whip on the ground.

After punishing the couple, he left angrily.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

There were only four people guarding the prison, two of them were outside and two were inside.

After their inspection, they returned to their cubicle to drink.

Suddenly, a prisoner wailed loudly, and around him there were sounds of other prisoners laughing loudly.

The two jailers quickly went over to check and found that there was another fight among the prisoners, while others were watching and cheering.

"Stop it!" they shouted and quickly opened the cell.

The two people outside heard the noise and came over to help.

It was a common occurrence for these two prisoners to fight and, as usual, they cornered them and started a violent brawl.

Suddenly, another shrill scream was heard.

After a moment's pause, they immediately ran outside and found that the door of the cell where the person in charge of child trafficking was imprisoned was already open. He had been stabbed in the chest and blood was flowing like a river!

"Catch the assassin!"

They shouted and rushed over to fight with the killer.

The killer had no intention of getting entangled with them and swiftly escaped through the window.

The jailers hurriedly ran over to hold his wound, sent someone to find a doctor to treat him, and reported the matter.

When Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi learned about this and rushed over, they found that Wen Chenxuan had already arrived and was standing beside them, watching them treating the steward with a serious expression.

Taking a look at the blood on the ground, Chu Weiyue's anger immediately surged: "Wen Chenxuan, what's wrong with your people? They can't even keep an eye on a prisoner!"

Wen Chenxuan cast a murderous look at Chu Weiyue in an instant: "What do you mean by that? Is it your turn as a woman to point fingers at what Wen Chenxuan does?"

Chu Weiyue was not afraid of him. Instead, she grabbed Wen Jingchi's clothes and shook him in grievance.

"I told you to take care of it, but something went wrong..."

This was equivalent to telling everyone that she thought Wen Chenxuan's ability was not as good as Wen Jingchi's!

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists, his teeth itching with hatred, but he couldn't refute a single word!

After glancing at him coldly, the two men came to the steward.

The doctor shook his head and left with the medicine box.

The steward's consciousness was gradually fading, but his fingers were trembling as he drew on the ground, writing the word "Hou"!

This word instantly gave Wen Chenxuan an opportunity to make use of the topic.

"Chu Weiyue, do you have anything else to say? I think your mansion must be the culprit in this matter!"

Then, he set his eyes on his men: "Come on, take Chu Weiyue to Wen Chenxuan and detain him, then we will go to the Marquis' Mansion to arrest the wanted criminal!"

"Wen Chenxuan, you are simply a personal enemy of Wen Jingchi!" Chu Weiyue scolded angrily.

Wen Jingchi stood in front of her and protected her by his side: "Wen Chenxuan, you are too hasty to do this. Evidence is important for everything. It is not even my father who dares to be so arbitrary to judge Lord Chu as the murderer without any evidence..."

His words were all accusations against Wen Chenxuan, who was actually above the emperor.

Chu Weiyue sneered disdainfully: "Did you hear that? That sounds like a rational statement. Isn't the Crown Prince's intelligence too far behind that of the Prince? There are many marquisates in the capital, but you chose to target my family. What's your intention?"

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, "He is still my sister's old lover, but he doesn't show any mercy at all. He is really a scumbag who doesn't recognize people after pulling up his pants! 】

Wen Chenxuan's face turned dark in an instant, and he was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

With Wen Jingchi's protection, he left in anger!

The next day, during the morning court session, Wen Chenxuan informed the emperor of everything that had happened the previous night.

"Father, in my opinion, Lord Chu must have colluded with the human traffickers in an attempt to make money. Please put him in jail immediately and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Chu Lingfeng could no longer bear this and snorted in disdain.
